On the road as a team

So, we have met at GGPRunner's house, and she very graciously provided us a meeting place and provided a very tasty lunch that really hit the spot and gave us some carbs. Thank you Kerry for everything! You have made the first part of the trip go very smoothly!

The computer was passed around and everyone posted to the blog. The GNIKE GNOME got a makeover and got a very nice pair of GNIKE's. I handed out the team shirts and the very special limited edition version of WeezieWipes.

Everyone has now split up into the two vans and we are making the trek to the hotel to check in. We will then head to the dinner with Dean. I am scribbing this from the back seat of wondermom's van and we just passed over the golden gate bridge, spectacular views all around.

More to come after tonight's dinner with pics :)

Have a save trip and a fun dinner. Don't drink what wouldn't drink because there is some running to be done yet!

Have a great time, and keep posting those pictures!
